Went here to watch Matilda and it was great! The layout and setting was great too. However, the staff were not to sure about what was happening in particular to seating of children. At first one of the staff told us to go and queue in the wrong place when we had 35 children in tow!

What an amazing show ! - despite having lowest price seats 1 row from the very back of the upper circle we could still see very well. The kids in the show are fantastic, very professional and talented. Great experience but be warned the steps to the upper circle are a real climb.

Theatre was so hot and stifling that adults and children were falling asleep during the explosive, ear-blasting sounds of "Matilda." Outside temperature was mid-60s; theatre temperature was near 80. At intermission, complaint to manager was answered with insulting, non- pertinent, robotic comments memorized by sub-level employees who have no power to rectify nor inclination to help in any way, knowing...

Five us of varying ages went to see the show and sat in the front row of the Circle (right side facing). The show was original, well done with lots of verve and probably well acted but, from our seats, the sound system was terrible with large parts of the dialogue or singing lost to the audience around us. Great... More

Matilda has become one of my favourite shows. It was spectacular. I had just missed Bertie playing Miss Trunchbull, but David was spectacular. Cleo, who was playing Matilda, was brilliant, as were the rest of the children. The rest of the cast fit right in (the man who played Mr. Wormwood looked and acted JUST like Roald Dahl and Quentin...

Brilliant show. The acting, singing and sets were all first class. The only thing that lets the whole show down is the massive queue for the loos and the extortionate bar and ice cream prices! Be warned - take your own drinks and eats.

I can't let the amazing customer care we received from the theatre staff here go unnoticed. I took my Mum and sister to this theatre to see a production of Matilda. From the moment we arrived and collected our tickets we were immediately escorted to our seats by the loveliest member of staff you could wish to meet. I will... More

What a lovely theatre this is, the seating is comfortable and the view from most seats was excellent. not too big so that you couldn't see what was going on. We sat on row H and this seemed to be very close and we had a fantastic view. The musical itself was excellent - the energy levels of all of... More
